Floor Support Pillars

Zinc diecast pillars support two different heights of floor system. The first is a low height (60 – 100mm) system for cables only, the second is higher (300 – 400mm) , used for air ducts under the floor. Zinc diecastings are designed for maximum strength. Originally considered in plastics, zinc was selected as the ideal material for the threaded, adjustable edestalsand fittings.
